Saying for the Day

Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year? ~Horace

Picture of the Day
Betty's birth mother and Betty

Some of those released from Guantanamo have gone back to their home country and joined Al Qida. The right is suggesting this is Obama’s fault. We will pay for his being so stupid in increased terrorism.
My question is this “ Who gave these people the stories about the way American’s treat prisoners? Who taught them to hate us ? Who waterboarded them? Who took away their dignity? Who filled them with hate for us.
It wasn’t Obama.
Who failed the American people and approved torture?
It wasn’t Obama.
Who failed despite all that torture to prove some of them guilty of anything? Who had to release them because we could never prove anything in a real court?
It wasn’t Obama.
To find the real guilty one s in this scenario the right has to look back.
The good news is that under Obama we will create no more of them.
We will not torture.
We will live up to our ideals.
We will set an example of how a free people act toward others.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Yesterday at eleven o’clock it appeared at the end of main street.
It is hard to describe this thing . It was unlike anything Pigeon Falls had ever seen. It had arms and legs and a head but it wasn’t human. It was covered with fire. It was so hot that the snow and ice on both sides of the street were melting. At first it just stood there as if confused and then it slowly started moving toward Last Lutheran and City Hall. As it moved it left footprints in the blacktop
Those unlucky enough to be in town hid in the various stores. Old Jethro Gribs jumped into his car and drove out of town away from the being. There was no way Jethro was going to have any part of his new car melted. He had saved too long for that car.
The creature continued to move slowly and deliberately as if expecting some resistance. Then it came. The oldest and largest of the dragons appeared and poured down flame upon the being. But before the flame could hit the demon raised its hand and flame met flame. Now it was a test of wills and strength. The dragon flame pushing down and the demon flame pushing up. At first it was rather even. The dragon flame seeming to move down only to be pushed back by the being’s flame. But little by little it became obvious the demon would win. Finally the demon raised its other hand and a flame hit the dragon in the side sending it rolling over the Masonic building and out into the woods.
Now the demon moved forward slowly again. It had stood so long in one place there was a large puddle of blacktop material where it had been standing. Suddenly it stopped and the flame on one side flickered.
To be continued.

Wrap UP

A really good breathing day. My oxygen was up in the low normal range and I didn't need the little tank all day. I started cleaning up my link list but I can see it is going to take some time. Betty went and had tests made at the clinic. I ordered a few small things for the lake module on the train set. Now I need a breathing treatment.
